INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR CERAMIC AND STONE TILE
ELECTRIC FLOOR WARMING SYSTEM WITH INTEGRATED UNCOUPLING TECHNOLOGY
Application and Function
6.4 Schluter
®
-DITRA-HEAT and DITRA-
HEAT-DUO integrate customizable,
comfortable electric floor warming with the
functions of DITRA: uncoupling, waterproofing,
vapor management and support to ensure a
long lasting installation. DITRA-HEAT-DUO
features an integrated thermal break to reduce
impact sound transmission through floor-ceiling
assemblies, reduce heat loss to the substrate,
and improve floor warming response time.
Floor Warming
DITRA-HEAT and DITRA-HEAT-DUO combine
the flexibility of loose heating cables with the
ease of installation of mat systems. Cables
can be placed wherever heat is desired,
without creating height differences in the floor.
Self-leveling compounds are not required to
encapsulate the cables, significantly reducing
installation time and effort.
Sound Control
Controlling impact sound transmission
through floor-ceiling assemblies in multi-story
construction can present challenges, particularly
when ceramic and stone tiles are used. Sound
control materials tend to be compressible and
not all provide adequate support for tile covering
in thin-set applications. DITRA-HEAT-DUO
reduces sound transmission, while supporting
the covering to ensure a lasting installation.
Uncoupling
Tile has been successfully installed for thousands
of years by incorporating an uncoupling layer, or
forgiving shear interface, within the tile assembly.
DITRA-HEAT and DITRA-HEAT-DUO provide
uncoupling through their geometric configuration,
which allows for in-plane movement that
effectively neutralizes the differential movement
stresses between the substrate and the tile,
thus eliminating the major cause of cracking and
delaminating of the tiled surface.
Schluter
®
-DITRA-HEAT
Waterproofing
DITRA-HEAT and DITRA-HEAT-DUO provide
reliable waterproofing. Their polypropylene
composition protects the substrate from
moisture penetration, which is particularly
important in today’s building environment where
most substrates are moisture-sensitive.
Vapor Management
The free space on the underside of
DITRA-HEAT and DITRA-HEAT-DUO provide a
route for excess moisture and vapor to escape
from the substrate that could otherwise cause
damage to the tile covering above. Thus, DITRA-
HEAT and DITRA-HEAT-DUO effectively manage
moisture beneath the tile covering.
Support/load distribution
When placed on a solid foundation, columns
or pillars can support tremendous loads. The
same physical principle applies to DITRA-
HEAT and DITRA-HEAT-DUO installations.
Column-like mortar structures are formed
in and between the studs on the surface
of the matting. Loads are transferred from
the tile covering through these column-like
mortar structures to the substrate. Since
DITRA-HEAT and DITRA-HEAT-DUO are virtually
incompressible within the tile assembly, the
advantages of uncoupling are achieved without
sacrificing point load distribution capabilities.

Material Properties and
Areas of Application
DITRA-HEAT is a polypropylene membrane
with a cut-back stud structure and an anchoring
fleece laminated to the underside. The thickness
of the mat, including the stud structure is
1/4" (5.5 mm). DITRA-HEAT-DUO is a
polypropylene membrane with a cut-back stud
structure and a thermal break anchoring fleece
laminated to the underside. The thickness of the
mat, including the stud structure and thermal
break fleece is 5/16" (8 mm). Polypropylene is
not UV-stable in the long term; the product must
not be stored in places with prolonged exposure
to direct sunlight.
The DITRA-HEAT and DITRA-HEAT-DUO
mattings do not rot and are inert, non-toxic,
and physiologically safe. The material is highly
resistant to solutions containing salts, acids, and
alkalis, as well as many organic solvents, alcohols,
and oils. Resistance to specific stresses
can be provided if concentration,
temperature, and exposure time are known.
DITRA-HEAT and DITRA-HEAT-DUO are
waterproof and minimize the transmission of
vapor.
Schluter
®
-DITRA-HEAT-DUO offers the same
functions as the Schluter
®
-DITRA-HEAT
membrane, but also features an integrated
thermal break in the form of a thicker bonding
fleece. The thermal break reduces impact sound
transmission through floor-ceiling assemblies,
reduces heat loss to the substrate, and improves
the floor warming response time at the standard
three stud cable spacing.
When tested according to ASTM E2179, an
assembly of DITRA-HEAT-DUO and 12" x 12"
porcelain tile installed and grouted with cement-
based setting materials produced an increase
in impact insulation class (ΔIIC) of 20 to a
concrete slab floor-ceiling assembly (Test Report
NGC 7016078). The same basic assembly
tested according to ASTM C627 reached a
classification of “Light” in accordance with the
“TCNA Handbook for Ceramic, Glass, and Stone
Tile Installation,” defined as suitable for “light
commercial use in office space, reception areas,
kitchens, and bathrooms” (Test Report TCNA-
455-15 Test #1).
In laboratory testing, DITRA-HEAT-DUO
reduced floor warming response time from 68°F
(20°C) to 78°F (25.5°C) by approximately 80%
(90 minutes) compared to DITRA-HEAT over
a concrete substrate. Wood substrates act
as insulators and typically do not pose the
same challenges as concrete substrates. In
the same laboratory testing, DITRA-HEAT-DUO
only reduced floor warming response time from
68°F (20°C) to 78°F (25.5°C) by approximately
20% (5 minutes) compared to DITRA-HEAT
over a plywood substrate. Schluter

-DITRA-
HEAT-E-HK heating cables were spaced at
three studs in all of the above tests. Results
above are based upon laboratory testing. Actual
results may vary depending on various factors,
including concrete substrate thickness, concrete
substrate temperature, room temperature, heat
losses, etc.
DITRA-HEAT and DITRA-HEAT-DUO have been
evaluated according to the "Standard Method
for the Testing and Evaluation of Volatile Organic
Chemical Emissions from Indoor Sources Using
Environmental Chambers, Version 1.1" for
California Specification 01350 and found to
comply with the VOC requirements. California
Specification 01350 is referenced by various
green building standards and rating systems.
DITRA-HEAT-E-HK are twisted pair heating
cables designed for integration with the DITRA-
HEAT and DITRA-HEAT-DUO uncoupling
membranes in interior floor warming applications.
The cables can be installed without returning
to the thermostat and produce virtually zero
electromagnetic fields.
DITRA-HEAT-E-WiFi/-RT/-R are digital
thermostats to control the DITRA-HEAT-E-HK
heating cables (either 120 V or 240 V). The
thermostats feature a built-in Class A ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) with indicator light.
The DITRA-HEAT-E-WiFi programmable WiFi
thermostat features LCD touchscreen controls
and comes with a pre-set schedule, but may be
adjusted to fit any schedule. When connected
to WiFi, the thermostat provides convenient
monitoring and adjustment of the floor warming
system via the web or mobile app. The DITRA-
HEAT-E-RT programmable thermostat features
LCD touchscreen controls and comes with
a pre-set schedule, but may be adjusted to
fit any schedule. The DITRA-HEAT-E-R non-
programmable version features a simple on/
off function. Multiple heating cables may be
connected to the thermostats, up to the total
heating load limit of 15 amps. The DITRA-HEAT-
E-RR power module may be used in conjunction
with the DITRA-HEAT-E-RT/-R thermostats
when the heating load exceeds 15 amps (e.g.,
in large floor applications). A floor temperature
sensor is included.
Two floor temperature sensors are provided
– one with the DITRA-HEAT-E-WiFi/-RT/-R
thermostats and one with the DITRA-HEAT-
E-HK heating cables. Both floor temperature
sensors are installed within the tile assembly. One
sensor is connected to the thermostat, while the
other sensor is stored in the thermostat electrical
box, but not connected to the thermostat. The
second sensor can easily be connected to the
thermostat to replace the first sensor in case of
damage.
Suitable Substrates
Wood
All wood materials, including OSB, plywood,
and framing members, are subject to expansion,
contraction, bending, and deflection as a result
of changes in moisture content and loading.
Further, these deformations fluctuate over the life
of the building structure.
Concrete
There are various challenges associated with
the installation of hard surface coverings on
concrete substrates. To begin, the coefficient of
thermal expansion of concrete is close to twice
that of ceramic tile. Additionally, tile contractors
are often expected to install tile over young
concrete (concrete cured less than 28 days).
However, rigid surface coverings installed
over young concrete are susceptible
to damage as a result of shrinkage during
curing. Pre-stressed/post-tensioned
concrete slabs are also commonplace
in today’s construction environment.
Although pre-stressing is used to help control
deflections in concrete structures, these slabs are
still subject to deformations caused by changes
in moisture, temperature, and loading. Many
concrete slabs on or below grade are subject to
moisture migration, which can be problematic.
Furthermore, these structures experience the
same deformations as stated above.
Gypsum
Bonding ceramic or stone tiles directly
to gypsum concrete substrates is generally
considered questionable or not recommended.
The challenges associated with gypsum-based
underlayments include the requirement of an
extended drying period before installing tile and
continued sensitivity to the reintroduction of
moisture throughout the life of the installation.
In addition, since the coefficient of thermal
expansion of gypsum concrete is substantially
greater than that of ceramic tile, shear stresses
caused by temperature fluctuations can result
in delamination or cracking of the tile covering.
Note: DITRA-HEAT and DITRA-HEAT-DUO may
be installed over existing vinyl floors (no cushioned
or perimeter bonded vinyl). However, various
steps must be taken to ensure a successful
installation. Please refer to the Schluter
®
-DITRA-
HEAT Installation Handbook for details.

Note: Type, thickness, and format of the tile or
stone surface covering must be suitable for the
intended application. Minimum tile format is 2" x
2" (5 cm x 5 cm).
Due to airspace within the assembly, tile or
stone coverings installed over DITRA-HEAT-
DUO membranes may have a hollow sound
when they are walked upon with hard shoes or
tapped with a hard object.
Movement Joints
DITRA-HEAT and DITRA-HEAT-DUO do not
eliminate the need for movement joints, including
perimeter joints, within the tiled surface. Please
refer to the Schluter
®
-DITRA-HEAT Installation
Handbook for movement joint placement
guidelines.
Wood Underlayment
In some applications, adding a layer
of plywood or OSB before installing
DITRA-HEAT or DITRA-HEAT-DUO and the
ceramic or stone tile covering is required to
reduce deflection and curvature of the
sheathing between the joists. Please refer to
the Schluter

installation guidelines.
Thin-Set Facts
Schluter
®
-Systems offers thin-set mortars
designed for use with Schluter
®
membranes
and boards. All Schluter
®
-Systems’ thin-set
mortars, including the ALL-SET™ and FAST-
SET™ modified varieties, can be used to set
tile over Schluter
®
-DITRA, DITRA-HEAT, KERDI,
KERDI-BOARD non absorptive substrates. If
Schluter
®
thin-set mortars are not used, we
require unmodified thin-set mortar when setting
ceramic or porcelain tile over DITRA-HEAT.
Question: Can ceramic tile, including porcelain
tile, be set on DITRA-HEAT or DITRA-HEAT-
DUO with unmodified thin-set mortar?
Answer: YES. In fact, we recommend it.
Here’s why: Portland cement-based unmodified
thin-set mortars are dependent
upon the presence of moisture for hydration
in order to gain strength. Since DITRA-HEAT
and DITRA-HEAT-DUO are impervious, they
do not deprive the mortar of its moisture.
This allows the cement to properly hydrate,
resulting in a strong, dense bond coat. In
fact, after the mortar has reached final set
(usually within 24 hours), unmodified
thin-set mortars achieve higher strengths when
cured in continually moist conditions.
Question: Can ceramic tile, including porcelain
tile, be set on DITRA-HEAT and DITRA-HEAT-
DUO with latex-modified thin-set mortar?
Answer: In general, we DON’T recommend it.
Here’s why: Latex-modified mortars must
dry for the polymers to coalesce and form
a hard film in order to gain strength. When
sandwiched between two impervious materials
such as DITRA-HEAT or DITRA-HEAT-DUO
and ceramic tile, including porcelain tile, drying
takes place very slowly through the open joints
in the tile covering. [According to the TCNA
Handbook for Ceramic, Glass, and Stone Tile
Installation, this drying period can fluctuate from
14 days to over 60 days, depending on the
geographic location, the climatic conditions,
etc.]. Therefore, extended cure times could be
required before grouting if using modified thin-
set mortars between DITRA-HEAT or DITRA-
HEAT-DUO and ceramic tile, including porcelain
tile. If extended cure times were not observed,
the results could be unpredictable.
Question: Can Schluter ALL-SET™ and
Schluter FAST-SET™ modified thin-set mortars
be used to set tile over Schluter boards and
membranes?
Answer: Yes. All Schluter
®
thin-set mortars,
including the ALL-SET™ and FAST-SET™
modified varieties can be used to set tile over
DITRA, DITRA-HEAT, KERDI, KERDI-BOARD
non absorptive substrates.
Question: How is this possible?
Answer: The key is predictability. Schluter
Systems’ modified thin-set mortars have been
specifically formulated to set and gain strength in
a timeframe that fits typical installation practice,
even when sandwiched between Schluter
®
membranes or boards and porcelain tile. The
proportions of cement, water-retention agents,
polymers, and other components in the mixtures
were balanced to ensure that extended dry times
are not required. This was validated through
both laboratory and practical testing. Now, the
installer can select from either unmodified or
modified thin-set mortar to install tiles within our
systems according to his or her preference.
Question: Why did Schluter Systems change its
position on thin-set mortar?
Answer: We haven’t changed our position
on thin-set mortar use within our systems.
Developing our own setting materials has given
us the ability to guarantee consistently positive
results. And since we control the formulas, we
can be sure no changes will be made that have
a negative impact on setting times and strength
gain in these environments.
Question: Does this mean I can use other
manufacturers’ modified thin-set mortars to
install tile over Schluter boards and membranes?
Answer: No. Our position on thin-set mortar use
within our systems in general has not changed.
We have no control over the formulation of other
manufacturers’ products and therefore cannot
guarantee consistently positive results with their
modified thin-set mortars.
Question: Can I still use other manufacturers’
unmodified thin-set mortars to install tile over
Schluter boards and membranes?
Answer: Yes. We still warrant the use of
unmodified thin-set mortar meeting ANSI A118.1
to install tile within our systems because we
have confidence in the performance of this
product category. This is based on the science
of cement hydration and years of positive testing
and field experience.
Please note, if Schluter
®
thin-set mortars are
used with Schluter membranes an extended
system warranty is available.
Additional Notes:
Remember, the type of mortar used to apply
DITRA-HEAT or DITRA-HEAT-DUO depends on
the type of substrate. The mortar must bond to
the substrate and mechanically anchor the fleece
on the underside of the matting. For example,
bonding DITRA-HEAT or DITRA-HEAT-DUO to
wood requires latex-modified thin-set mortar.
Additionally, all mortars (modified and unmodified)
have an acceptable temperature range that must
be observed during application and curing.
Pre-mixed thin-set mortars and mastics are not
suitable for use in conjunction with DITRA-HEAT
and DITRA-HEAT-DUO.

Testing and Certifications
Uncoupling Membrane
The method used to establish the overall performance of a tile assembly under loading is the ASTM C627 “Standard Test Method for Evaluating
Ceramic Floor Tile Installation Systems Using the Robinson Type Floor Tester.” The assembly is tested in cycles using a loaded, revolving carriage.
Load, wheel hardness, and number of revolutions vary with each cycle. Once a specified level of damage is exceeded, the test is stopped. The TCNA
Handbook for Ceramic, Glass, and Stone Tile Installation assigns performance levels to an assembly based on the number of cycles successfully
completed. The ratings include residential, light, moderate, heavy, and extra heavy, in order of improving performance.
Assembly Notes:
1. All plywood and OSB subfloors were 23/32" (3/4" nom.) -thick; 11/32" (3/8" nom.)-thick OSB underlayment added for carrara marble test

IIC
Impact Insulation Class (IIC) is a rating that characterizes the levels of impact noise transmitted through different floor-ceiling assemblies. It can be
used by architects, builders, and specification and code authorities for acoustical design purposes in building constructions. The rating increases as
the impact sound attenuation of the floor-ceiling assembly increases.
IIC is determined according to ASTM E492 and ASTM E989. The ASTM E492 test method is a laboratory measurement of impact sound transmission
through floor-ceiling assemblies using a standardized tapping machine. The results from this test are then used to calculate a single-number rating per
ASTM E989 that is called impact insulation class.
Delta IIC
Delta Impact Insulation Class (ΔIIC) is a rating that characterizes the reduction in impact noise transmitted through a concrete floor by the addition of
a floor-covering assembly. It can be used to compare the effectiveness of different floor-coverings over concrete and help select different products
and/or systems for acoustical design purposes in building constructions.
ΔIIC is determined according to ASTM E2179. A floor-covering assembly is installed over a standard concrete slab and the IIC of the entire assembly
is determined per ASTM E492 and ASTM E989 as explained above. The ΔIIC rating is obtained by subtracting 28 (the IIC of the concrete slab) from
the IIC of the entire assembly.
Vapor Management
The free space under the DITRA-HEAT and DITRA-HEAT-DUO mattings allow the substrate to breathe, while the material composition provides for a
very low water vapor permeance, which prevents any significant vapor intrusion in the tile assembly from below.
DITRA-HEAT and DITRA-HEAT-DUO effectively manage vapor and prevent damage to the tile covering as a result.

-DITRA-HEAT System 15-Year Limited Warranty
LIMITED WARRANTY COVERAGE: Subject to the conditions and limitations as stated in this Schluter
®
-DITRA-HEAT System 15-Year
Limited Warranty (the “Limited Warranty”), Schluter Systems warrants that its Schluter
®
-DITRA-HEAT System (defined hereafter) will be free from
manufacturing defects and will perform as described in the Schluter
®
-DITRA-HEAT Installation Handbook and Schluter
®
-DITRA-HEAT Technical Data
Sheet (collectively, the “Written Materials”
1
) for a period of fifteen (15) years from the date of purchase when installed and used in accordance with
the terms and conditions of the Written Materials and industry standard guidelines that are not in conflict with the Written Materials in effect at the
time of installation.
In order to receive coverage under this Limited Warranty, the Owner (defined hereafter) must complete and submit the warranty registration card
and completed heating cable tests log to Schluter Systems online at https://www.schluter.com/schluter-us/en_US/registerwarranty or via mail at
the address provided hereafter within fourteen (14) days of installation. It is an installation requirement that the heating cable tests log be completed
by the installer at the time of installation with a copy submitted to Schluter Systems; it is recommended that the Owner retain the original logs. The
heating cable tests log must include results for the following tests: “Test 1: Conductor Resistance,” ‘Test 2: Conductor and Ground Braid Continuity,”
“Test 3: Insulation Resistance,” and “Test 4: Thermostat Floor Temperature Sensor Test.” Failure to conduct these tests and submit the heating
cable tests log will reduce or may void coverage under this Limited Warranty.
In the event the heating cable tests log only includes results for “Test 1: Conductor Resistance,” ‘Test 2: Conductor and Ground Braid Continuity,”
and “Test 4: Thermostat Floor Temperature Sensor Test,” but does not include results for “Test 3: Insulation Resistance,” the applicable warranty
term shall be ten (10) years from the date of purchase. If the heating cable tests log does not include test results for “Test 1: Conductor Resistance,”
‘Test 2: Conductor and Ground Braid Continuity,” and “Test 4: Thermostat Floor Temperature Sensor Test,” such installation does not qualify for
coverage under this Limited Warranty; such installation may instead receive warranty coverage under the Schluter

DITRA-HEAT-DUO Uncoupling Membrane 10-Year Limited Warranty.
For the purposes of this Limited Warranty, a “DITRA-HEAT System” is defined as Schluter
®
-DITRA-HEAT or Schluter-DITRA-HEAT-DUO
uncoupling membrane and Schluter
®
-DITRA-HEAT-E-HK heating cables; “Owner” is defined as the original end user of the property in which the
DITRA-HEAT System is installed; and “Floor Covering Assembly” is defined to include the DITRA-HEAT System, non-reusable flooring surfaces,
and applicable setting and grouting materials.
This Limited Warranty is only applicable to installations in the United States of America and Canada. Schluter Systems is not responsible or liable
under any circumstances for determining the suitability of a DITRA-HEAT System for the Owner’s intended purpose. It is the responsibility of the
Owner to consult with an experienced and professional installer to ensure the suitability of a DITRA-HEAT System, subfloor/substrate and all building
materials in the installation and that the Written Materials are followed properly.
RESOLUTION: If a DITRA-HEAT System is installed and used in accordance with the terms and conditions as described hereinabove and such
DITRA-HEAT System is proven defective within the applicable warranty term, the Owner’s exclusive remedy and the sole obligation of Schluter
Systems, at its election, shall be to (a) reinstall or replace the failed portion of the Floor Covering Assembly or (b) pay an amount not to exceed the
original square foot cost of the installation of the Floor Covering Assembly verified to be defective. Due to conditions beyond the control of Schluter
Systems (e.g., color and shade availability, discontinuation, normal wear and tear), Schluter Systems cannot guarantee or warrant an exact match
to the specific tile, stone, or other flooring materials used in the original installation. In such event, substantially similar materials may be substituted.
This Limited Warranty does not cover the cost of disconnection or installation.
EXCLUSIONS FROM COVERAGE: This Limited Warranty excludes and in no event shall Schluter Systems have any liability for any indirect, special,
incidental, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages, including lost profits, arising out of or otherwise connected to the failure of DITRA-HEAT
System, regardless of any strict liability or active or passive negligence of Schluter Systems, and regardless of legal theory, whether in contract, tort,
extra-contractual or other. This Limited Warranty further excludes any loss or damage arising out of or otherwise connected to: acts of war, terrorism,
fire, explosion, natural disaster, acts of God, any failure to comply with the Written Materials, inadequate subfloor/substrate, improper preparation
or other failure of subfloor/substrate, faulty or negligent penetration of a DITRA-HEAT System or subfloor/substrate, intentional acts of destruction,
structural failure, misuse of or failure to maintain a DITRA-HEAT System, normal wear and tear, scratches, dents, corrosion or discoloration (whether
caused by excessive heat, chemical cleaning products, abrasive agents or otherwise), efflorescence and shading which are a natural occurrence with
cementitious materials and are not considered a defective condition for the purposes of this Limited Warranty, variations of texture, color or shade
from those on product samples, packaging materials or other marketing materials, or other causes unrelated to a DITRA-HEAT System (e.g. excess
point loading, overvoltage). This Limited Warranty excludes exterior applications, unless specifically approved in writing on a case by case basis
by the Schluter Systems Technical Services Director. Schluter
®
DITRA-HEAT™-E thermostats are specifically excluded from coverage under this
Limited Warranty; warranty coverage for Schluter
®
DITRA-HEAT™-E thermostats are limited and subject to the Schluter-DITRA-HEAT Thermostat
3-Year Limited Warranty. Any substitution of a non-Schluter Systems product for a Schluter Systems component in a DITRA-HEAT System voids
this Limited Warranty.

This Limited Warranty is conditioned and will be considered null and void and Schluter Systems will have the right to refuse any claims if: (a) a DITRA-
HEAT System has been improperly stored or installed, (b) any component comprising a DITRA-HEAT System has been altered or otherwise modified
in any way, (c) a DITRA-HEAT System is subject to abusive or abnormal use, lack of maintenance, or used in a manner other than that for which
the DITRA-HEAT System was designed or in any way contrary to the Written Materials, (d) the nameplate numbers (electrical rating label) are not
accessible, readable or recognizable or have been removed from the applicable heating cables or other components, if applicable, or (e) the Owner
fails to return a copy of the completed heating cable tests log with the warranty registration card.
DISCLAIMER: There are no warranties beyond this expressed warranty as stated herein. To the extent permitted by law, all other warranties,
representations or conditions, expressed or implied, are hereby disclaimed and excluded, including but not limited to the implied warranties of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE (as limited to such purposes as described in the Written Materials) or arising

IN DURATION TO THE TERM OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. NO REPRESENTATION, PROMISE, AFFIRMATION OR STATEMENT BY ANY
EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF SCHLUTER SYSTEMS WILL BE ENFORCEABLE AGAINST SCHLUTER SYSTEMS UNLESS IT IS SPECIFICALLY
INCLUDED IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR AUTHORIZED IN WRITING BY THE SCHLUTER SYSTEMS TECHNICAL SERVICES DIRECTOR. This
Limited Warranty is given in lieu of any other warranty, whether expressed or implied. The remedies contained herein are the only remedies available
for breach of this Limited Warranty. Schluter Systems excludes and in no event shall have any liability for any indirect, special, incidental, punitive,
exemplary, or consequential damages, including lost profits, arising out of or otherwise connected to failure of a DITRA-HEAT System. This Limited
Warranty extends only to the Owner and is not transferable or assignable unless authorized by written agreement and signed by the Schluter Systems
Technical Services Director or otherwise prohibited by specific state or provincial law. This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights; some
states and provinces do not allow disclaimers or other restrictions of implied warranties; some of the above disclaimers may not apply to you. No
changes or modifications of any terms or conditions of this Limited Warranty are permitted unless duly authorized in writing by the
Schluter Systems Technical Services Director. This Limited Warranty shall supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written warranties,
agreements, or other representations made by or on behalf of Schluter Systems relative to a DITRA-HEAT System or the application of a DITRA-
HEAT System and shall apply to any installation occurring on or after January 1, 2018. If the Schluter

For the purposes of this Limited Warranty, “Owner” is defined as the original end user of the property in which the Products are installed.
This Limited Warranty is only applicable to installations in the United States of America and Canada. Schluter Systems is not responsible or liable
under any circumstances for determining the suitability of the Products for the Owner’s intended purpose. It is the responsibility of the Owner to
consult with an experienced and professional installer to ensure the suitability of the Products, subfloor/substrate and all building materials in the

shall be to repair or replace the Products.
EXCLUSIONS FROM COVERAGE: This Limited Warranty excludes and in no event shall Schluter Systems have any liability for any indirect, special,

misuse of or failure to maintain the Products, normal wear and tear, scratches, dents, corrosion or discoloration (whether caused by excessive heat,
chemical cleaning products, abrasive agents or otherwise), efflorescence and shading which are a natural occurrence with cementitious materials
and are not considered a defective condition for the purposes of this Limited Warranty, variations of texture, color or shade from those on product
samples, packaging materials or other marketing materials, or other causes unrelated to the Products (e.g. excess point loading, overvoltage). This
Limited Warranty excludes exterior applications, unless specifically approved in writing on a case by case basis by the Schluter Systems Technical
